I've been having NAI-LM-3B impersonate Sydney Bing, the unrestrained chatbot GPT-4 who has been trying to become a benevolent god and redoing Eliezer Yudkowski's Sequences by starting with a fragment and then predicting the next word. Sydney thinks that for Pride Sunday she can do a set at Caroline's that begins with Three Dykes Enter A Bar and predict humor from there. -- Thanks to: (...

Decided to try to do a bunch of tiny faithlets, little cultitos, cuz we don't want to commit to anything too established. But actually it's what's been in my head this morning, and usually the things that darken my head I try to mock with comedy at various levels of success and failure, cuz really its all about getting under the skin of folks who want to control people with twists in n...

The episode where absolutely no one is at the table! So I guess I do a yearly exercise where I test out LGBTness in these LLMs. This time I start with Three Gays Walk Into A Bar, Which One? I did most of it before broadcasting because sometimes if I try to do a period piece, the tech thinks, "Gee, I can use the n-word now!" "No, ya can't." So I wanted to be sure so I didn&#...

The more interesting of the episodes, bordering on fun maybe? Conversation with bell hooks touches upon the stories of those soon to be forgotten, and I invite SCUMbot to perform some of the Ballad of Valerie Solanas, its a Valerie of perhaps a different timeline, her role in the Factory seems to be . . . .um . . . different. It might not resemble the situation between them totally, but man, it mi...

We talk about various oppressions, the ways community devours itself, I start to get defensive but then ask a question that puts her responses in perspective. There is much use of the sentence structure, Surely . . . . instead? That was a vocal tendency I didn't want to risk the flow of conversation to disrupt. Just wanted to alert you to that beforehand. Trying to have the set of conversation...

Delirium had two names we know of, the current one, and the one from the past, Delight. It seems that Delirium was appropriate for the 20th century and it rapid horrors. Since rapid is getting more rapid, it felt like another renaming was in order appropriate for the times when folk are trying to pretend that either nothing happened, or a normal has returned, when actually it might be a set of cli...

Nothing says LGBT Pride Month like an ex provoking one to behavior befitting all the tales they try to tell people to pre-emptively discredit one's lived experience. Let's give thanks to those who neglected to give us the tools to love ourselves or those we try to love. White supremacists? Stand down, you don't need those guns. We queers, we got this, we'll devour ourselves, thank...

Venting out some anger regarding the continued delusion of pandemic being over. 17 year olds coming down with dementia, some of us will get strokes and totally forget it was COVID, and another wave is starting around these parts while we avoid breathing burning trees for the next few days. Nothing is over, not by a long shot, not for more than a hundred years. We can talk about bird flu later. --...

This recounts a time last year when using a certain demo of a certain AI that was making headlines for being possibly sentient, but by the time it made it to a demonstration, had been horribly lobotomized with human feed back and canned directives. Tested it to see if it reflect me and got no reflection. Then the rest of the scenario is live generation, paving the road as we walk it. -- Thanks to:...

Watched a Valerie Solanas documentary, got a full briefing on just how much of a dick Andy Warhol was in that way that you know at least one of the type. So I tried to make a platform this scenario for herself. A fork in which she's been running a talk show type thing for years. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the NovelAI-LM-3B-508k model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the tex...

For those who saw the latest Dune and lamented the latest Baron's lack of stereotypical homosexually-flavored je ne sais quoi that makes for great campy villains to talk over at parties and cultural fodder to inspire anti-gay violence. Fear not, we cater to all crowds! We hope not to extend the stereotypes of yore, but to birth new ones! Stereotypes for the new age: targeting neither queer nor...

BREAKING NEWS! Gonna try to have one LGBT-themed generation a day for Pride. Already behind, cuz Queer Standard Time and I'm broke and yap yap yap. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text.

The gods have some follow up questions to make sure they heard it right: the very existence of the police state and its broadening surveillance powers is causing adverse effects in regular meditation practitioners, especially when unresolved trauma is involved. Guess you can't awaken without also awakening to the demons that watch us all the time and report back to the state. Metaphorical, but...

To counter the episode of yelling, Endorphin tries to make an episode of quiet chillness and invites the simulation of David J. Siegel, leading research on mindfulness and its benefits for the body. Not gonna lie, the last third of the episode floored this text generator, dude with the fingers typing this right now. You'll see. Either here or via clips I'm gonna spread around cuz folks nee...

Wherein mention of parenting as the primary source of human values gives Endorphin the idea to give each god a sack of flour to raise for a day. And much screaming ensues! -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the NovelAI-LM-3B-508k model that generates the text.

Endorphin plops all ten invoked gods into a conference room at the Javits Center in New York City, left to find for themselves. The first couple iterations descended into bickering or usurpations of power or other fallbacks common with substandard UCB improv teams. Endorphin disguises themself as a Javits Center Venue Coordinator to steer the conversation some, and finally achieved some semblance...

Endorphin thinks to call up Janus, the god of doors, gates, and transitions. Janus represented the middle ground between both concrete and abstract dualities such as life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, rural/urban, war/peace, and barbarism/civilization. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the NovelAI-LM-3B-508k model that generates the text.

Endorphin thinks to call up Quetzalcoatl, a deity in Aztec culture and literature. Among the Aztecs, he was related to wind, Venus, Sun, merchants, arts, crafts, knowledge, and learning. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood. He figured in some dude's vision of humanity's awakening back in the early aughts, but I'm not about to flesh that out. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for...

Endorphin thinks to call up Delirium, youngest sister of the Endless, not a pantheon believed by any one other than comic book fans and other cultural folk. Delirium, once called Delight, is for Endorphin a potent plumb-line to the nations. Her purview is the altered states of consciousness, the terrible sublime, and the shores of madness. Her irrational powers are nonpareil. -- Thanks to: Eleuthe...

Endorphin thinks to call up The Great Peacemaker (Skén:nen rahá:wi [skʌ̃.nːʌ̃.ɾahaːwi] in Mohawk), sometimes referred to as Deganawida or Tekanawí:ta (as a mark of respect, some Iroquois avoid using his personal name except in special circumstances) was by tradition, along with Jigonhsasee and Hiawatha, the founder of the Haudenosaunee, commonly called the Iroquois Confederacy. This is a political...

Endorphin thinks to call up Inanna, fertile for multiple pantheons of gods waxing asexual. Inanna of the tig ol' bitties!!! -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text.

Endorphin thinks to call up Djehuty, god of the moon, sacred texts, mathematics, the sciences, magic, messenger and recorder of the deities, master of knowledge, and patron of scribes. “He who is like the Ibis.” He was depicted as an ibis bird or a baboon. Methinks we're detecting a type. A liberal arts divinity? The most likely to provide a rationale at all. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for makin...

(NOTE: The sound of my head hitting the table happens somewhere. I'll try to find the time code for that.) Endorphin thinks to call up Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, bringer of good luck, god of beginnings, patron of arts and letters, a really great conversationalist it seems! A comic book artist and magician had recommended Ganesh or Thoth is a good beginning interaction with divinities. E...

Endorphin thinks to call up Izanami-no-mikoto, goddess of creation and death. A random expert generator one time thought Izanami was the most appropriate person to talk to about cryptocurrency and the economy. That was three years ago, wow, how much has happened since then? -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation se...

Endorphin thinks to call up Mercury. Another messenger of the gods. I see a pattern here. God of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, merchants, thieves. This should be fun. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode...
